We offer a supportive working environment with a focus on staff wellbeing and development. Join our friendly MINT service! We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic OT who is as passionate about caring for our service users as we are to join us to deliver integrated, personalised, place-based and well-coordinated care for adults.
Our Trust is at the forefront of improving the way we provide mental health care in the communities we serve, focusing on supporting people’s mental health, alongside their physical health and social care needs. Our teams work closely with GPs, social services, the voluntary sector and other organisations to offer treatment and care in a more integrated – or joined up way. We have developed a model called the Mental Health Integrated Network Team (MINT).
